similar to: Lockup using stock r8169 on 4.8 in gigabit mode during heavy transfer on lan

Two problems I hope to solve: 1. The switch being used has autoneg off and has port set to 100 full duplex. 2. Many times NIC fails to come up properly during PXE boot: r8169: eth0: link down ADDRCONF(NETDEV_UP): eth0: link is not ready I can't use ethtool to disable autoneg because the nic driver is built into a bzImage. The root fs is currently being mounted via nfs during pxeboot at

Howdy, It appears that CentOS 5.2's support for the RTL8111B/C chip is incomplete. The wiki has some blanket statements regarding this support: http://wiki.centos.org/AdditionalResources/HardwareList/CentOS5/RealTek/r1000 http://wiki.centos.org/AdditionalResources/HardwareList/RealTekRTL8111b I could dive in an make the changes *I* think need to happen but I'd like to talk to people

Hi all, Another FYI-mail (and just to verify that I'm not going insane here); I recently purchased an ASUS M3A78-EMH HDMI -board with a tri-core Phenom. This is a small uATX-board with all the garnish integrated motherboards are supposed to come with, and fairly well supported in CentOS 5 and other modern distros. When I installed it (~2 months ago) the NIC was not supported; Ethernet

We've just moved one a new server from our sever room, where I built it, to the datacenter. We want to force autoneg off, and tell it gigabit and full duplex. Using ethtool, I get no errors setting the speed or duplex. HOWEVER, autoneg on works... and autoneg off utterly refuses to work, and gives: ethtool -s eth0 autoneg off Cannot set new settings: Invalid argument not setting autoneg

I am experiencing poor network performance on Dom0. When i ping other hosts on the same LAN, packets are out of order, and they show response times ranging from < 1 ms to several seconds, and some packets get lost. For example, a typical ping result looks like this: 87 packets transmitted, 80 received, +3 errors, 8% packet loss, time 86038ms rtt min/avg/max/mdev =

Dear All, I have an onboard Realtek RTL8111/8168B NIC. from lspci -vv : 02:00.0 Ethernet controller: Realtek Semiconductor Co., Ltd. RTL8111/8168B PCI Express Gigabit Ethernet controller (rev 02) It is detected, but why the speed is always 100Mbps, already change cable but still no luck. I use ethtool and from the output it seems that system know that this NIC support gigabit speed : ???????

Greetings, I recently installed CentOS 5 on Dell PE 1750 server. I have noticed that the speed and duplex settings are 100 Half Duplex. I tried to change the duplex settings to full, but no success. I got the error message "Cannot get current device settings: Operation not supported". Does anyone else experience this issue?. Below is the error message and some more details about my box.

Hi list, I'm planning to buy a mobo (z170-K) that has Realtek 8111GR (nic). I've tried to search on google about support on C7 but can't fine anything. There is a way to check if supported? Is the Realtek 8111GR supported or I must change mobo? Thanks in advance.

Hi all, I've recently upgraded a system from CentOS 4.4 to CentOS5, and now when the system boots, the r8169 ethernet card doesn't come up. After the boot sequence, if I type "ifup eth1 | ifup eth1.10 | ifup eth1.203" then the adapter starts up ok. It seems to be something with the boot sequence it loads the ethernet adapters a different way around (ie 4.4 eth0 is now

Bill, your CentOS 5 RTL8110 page should probably be updated. I've confirmed that there's a newer r8169 driver in the kernel that works with the RTL8110. RealTek's web site now carries the new r8169 instead of the r1000. The newer driver fixed a problem I was having on one host so we should probably recommend it over the older r1000. I've updated my CentOS 4 page. Kirk Bocek

Hello, I am bussy building a xen cluster. When selecting mainboards for this cluster i came only up with core 2 duo mainboards with onboard gigabit ethernet cards with the realtek RTL8111B chipset. I have tested a mainboard and could not find a way to compile the driver sourcecode from the realtek site because of a missing /lib/modules/2.6.16-xen/Build directory. Can anyone help me out? I am

I am having an extremely strange issue with a BL460c1 (G1) blade on a c7000 enclosure. I could not for the life of me get the machine to ping the gateway or any other blade on the same enclosure (yes, the subnet mask was correct & quadruple-checked); although pinging to the local IP works. I was almost convinced that it was a network or hardware issue; until I asked someone to try

Hi, I have a new mainboard with a Realtek RTL8111B / RTL8168B NIC. In 5.1 are no driver integrated for this nic, but there is driver disk: http://wiki.centos.org/HardwareList/RealTekRTL8111b and http://wiki.centos.org/HardwareList/RealTekRTL8111b?action=AttachFile&do=get&target=r8168-2.6.18-53.el5-i686-x86_64.img.zip Can I integrate this driver do the CentOS 5.1 ISO or can i use this

I'd like to add a page for the Realtek RTL8111b NIC. I'm not sure how you'd like to organize it since the page really could be relevant to both CentOS 4 and CentOS 5. I think a single page like: http://wiki.centos.org/HardwareList/RealTekRTL8111b Would work with links to both CentOS 4 *and* CentOS 5? However, if the wiki admins want two pages, that'll be fine too. Can you also
